The Environment Agency, Sandwich Quay, Kent
0.5m Floodstop Barrier
The Environment Agency procured 180 metres of the Floodstop flood barrier to protect Sandwich Quay in Kent. The barrier has been implemented to reduce flood risk and protect a significant number of properties until permanent defences are built. Floodstop has already been deployed as flood defences by The Environment Agency on several occasions – staggeringly, 180 metres can be deployed and assembled in 90 minutes.
“Flooding does set us back, we need industry here. With this system (Floodstop) we will give more people the belief they can come and set up businesses here” Joe Trussler, Mayor of Sandwich
